Ch. 1 Overhearing

Author's Note: This is a Reid and JJ story. It will be romantic at some point. The team will be involved some. The only couple that may turn up is Morgan and Garcia because I love them together. If you have questions ask. I don't have beta so please excuse my mistakes. Let me know if I can any big ones though.

(Reid's point of view)

As you know listening in on a conversation is rude. Though when I heard JJ speaking with her Mother I stopped and listened. My attention was fully on the conversation after I heard Henry my godson's name. JJ seemed very upset.

I could hear JJ's mother screaming. It seems JJ had yet to find a suitable school for Henry. Henry turned five a few months ago. And his preschool is only for three and four years old.

JJ was considering sending Henry to public school. Her Mother disapproved of that idea. JJ looked as though she wanted to scream. I hadn't heard JJ mention Will's opinion. I wondered what his opinion was.

"Mother I am doing the best I can." JJ hollered her face starting to turn red.

"Calm down Jennifer I never said you weren't." Her Mother shrieked back at her.

"I have to go now." JJ said annoyed.

"Jennifer we aren't done discussing this." Her Mother screamed.

"I know Mother." JJ said before adding a quick goodbye.

"We have a case." Penelope said.

"Are you okay JJ?" I asked quietly.

"I'm fine." JJ simply said before walking away from me.

"Okay my lovely people we are heading to Fort Knox, Kentucky." Penelope said.

"We'll be 39.02 miles from Louisville." I said.

"Reid is correct and we'll be flying into Louisville and driving to Fort Knox." Penelope replied.

I did my best to give my full attention to the case. Henry's schooling was still on my mind. The case was a quick one. The soldier who killed his Mother-in-law, wife, and her best friend was a tech wiz. Penelope quickly was able to hack his system. We caught up with him and returned the children to their birth father.

On the jet home we all slept. We had been awake for 48 straight hours. We would've slept before leaving but it was Jack's birthday. We wanted Hotch to get him to him as soon as possible. When we arrived everyone started to disperse.

The next day JJ was just finishing her paper work. She looked over at me and smiled. I tried to cage if this was a good time to talk with her. She started packing her belongings forcing me to quickly decide.

"JJ." I said getting her attention.

"Hey Spence why are you still here?" She asked knowing my paper work was done long ago.

"I was hoping I could buy you dinner if you aren't to busy." I suggested.

"I need to call and see if the sitter can stay. I would love to catch up though if she can stay." JJ said.

I felt relived that she agreed to dinner. I was unsure how to bring up Henry's schooling. Would she feel I was overstepping her boundaries? I was a little curious why they had a sitter normally they worked their work schedules so one of them would be home with Henry.

I also thought it had been strange JJ's lack of conversation about Will. Not that any of us feel the need to share everything going on in our lives. Something's you just want to kept to yourself. Other times you need someone to share with.

I just hoped whatever the case was I could help JJ. I always want the best for Henry. And JJ deserves to have someone on her team. I quickly looked over the facts I had for our conversation.
